Hi Team. When I zoom in the colour disappears from my work leaving only the outlines. I can restore the colour by pressing ctrl-Y however it keeps on happening. A box also pops up saying "cant finish previewing. could not complete the requested operation". Can someone help. Thanks

Sounds like  not enough memory for a large and maybe complex file. Does turning off GPU Preview help?

Hard to tell how to fix that.

How much memory is installed?

Does the artwork contain images? Try linked files.

Repating objects? Try Static Symbols.
